02/05/18 is too far in the future, you need to call citi to make these reservations. When I tried that date, there was a relatively clear message indicating this. Although something tells me the dev did not understand the requirement correctly:

Error: Please enter a departure date no later than (append today's date +270 days including year).

Pretty sure the "(append today's date +270 days including year)" part should be a calculated value. Sometimes devs get lazy and/or take things literally.

To get the calendar to pop up, you need to click on the icon that is left justified inside the date input box.

It's a pretty mediocre site.
